An amusing little piece, in one act, was produced here last night, entitled The Culprit. Captain Hussey ( Harley), late of the Revel Navy, is a happy man, rich in the affections of a beautiful - and devoted wife (pleasingly enacted by Mrs. Stir ling), in return for whose hand he has given up his profession, a-id pledged himself to get rid also of all those sundry little " bad habits," as swearing, drinking, smoking, g m , which are incidental to it. Mr. and Mrs. Hussey arc what might be termed by their neighbours a happy couple; but to those behind the scenes, and present at the tete-a-tete breakfast table, a trifling modicum of alloy is detected in both their cups of bliss. Mrs. Hussey, though she admits that her husband's pledge against smoking, and swearing, and so forth, is rigorously adhered to, finds, to her regret, that all these restrictions do not make him at all the fonder of home ; and that he is apt to walk abroad at unseemly hours, particu larly before breakfast and after dinner. Capt. Hussey, though he adores his wife, and does all that he can to appear pleassnt in her society, is evidently under a little restraint; lie confesses (to the audience) that he has something on his conscience, and that he has a stronger attraction under another roof, in a house in a street in Oxford-street. A mystery soon begins brew ing, aided by the most opportune arrival of an elderly spinster named Miss Wyndham (exceedingly well played by Madame Sala), who has formerly been morning governess to Mrs. Hussey, and who now proceeds to guide her in the operations which become necessary to discover and punish the more tl a t suspected guilt of the Captain. After several amusing scenes, in the course of which Miss Wh y dh ara ' s avidity in swallowing gossip on all sides, notwithstanding she is almost stone deaf, was laughably kept up, the whole party follow the truant Captain to his secret lodging, where the ob ject of his affections is discovered to be—a very handsome Merschaum pipe, at which he puffs with great gusto. So in stead of " a flame," as he observes, he is only guilty of •‘ a smoke," and all ends happily, the pipe being ordered forthwith to do duty at home, and the embargo against the " noxious weed" being withdrawn by the overjoyed Mrs. Hulsey. The piece was extremely well acted. We believe Mr. T Haytue Bailey is the author of it.

BILUSSELS, JAN 2.—Yesterday being N the Ministers, the diplomatic body, the Members of the Senate now at Brussels, the deputation of the Chamber of Repre ss ststives, &c. &c., had the honour to present their respects to their Majesties. The presentations were numerous. VIENNA, DEC. 22 AND 23.—N0 essential change for the better has yet taken place in the disorder of the Archduchess Sophia. The fever has tiontinued, and is more violent towards tie evening, after which, however, she has had, for these two nights, some hours of refreshing sleep. CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 4.—The latest accounts from Egypt, to 21st November, give a strange picture of the state o f thi ngs in that country. The Viceroy, who can no longer deceive himself with respect to his altered position towards England and France, becomes daily bolder in his pretensions against the subjects of the t‘eo Powers ; and his officers violate, in the most insolent manner, the right of protection enjoyed by the Consuls. Under the pretext of looking for Arab women, the Sbirri of Mehemet Ali enter the houses of the Franks, d great excesses have already bsen committed. M. Cohelet, the new French Consul, and Mr. Campbell, the English Con sul, have already addressed threatening notes to Mehemet Ali on the subject. On the other hand, he is engaged in preparing a new expedii , n to Syria, and sends such quan_ ities of military effects to Aleppo, that the report has been Tread at Alexandria, that he contemplates making a de_ cisive blow ags.inst the army in Syria, but we know here, bet ter than they do there, that all his c fforts are directed merely to keep his ;; round in Syria. Provisions are extremely dear, and notwithstanding this. an order was issued, prohibiting under pain of death , the selling of corn, below the prices fixed by Mehereet Ali. Foreign sh y! -ire not allowed to land corn, except on payment of a high duty, and thus he securee to himself the monopoly of the trade in corn, at a time who) his people are half-gat-yin:. Whole tribes fly into the desert, and the great levy of troops had conse quently failed in a great measure. TtuasTa, Dec. 24.—The Porte is said to have applied to Jur Government fer the communication of instructions for qua rsntine establishments, because it intends to introduce them at Co istantiuople against the plague.

Sam Weller has found in Mr. Hammond a rere sentative on the Bath stage, which bids fair to establish his reputation in that city. In the ruins of Pompeii an urn was found contam ing a hollow metallic cylir.der, for the insertion of a hot iron, by which water or other substances might be kept warm. Tea urns, therefore, are not entitled to the appellation of modern inventions. Mr. STURGEON stated the case for the prosecution. It appeared that far many years the prisoner had been cohabiting with a young woman named Jane Burke, who had latterly become intimate with the deceased, and the prisoner's jealousy was thereby excited. John Bird deposed that on Saturday, December 9, the prisoner and the young woman Burke were both together at a public-house called the Queen's Head; the deceased was alSo . theta. The prisoner said to the woman that if she was intimate with the deceased he would strike her. The deceased, who was much the stronger man, said In that case he would strike the prisoner. On the Tuesday following the witness went on to say he was at the Northampton Arms, Mile-end-road. The pri_ soner, the young woman, and the deceased were then in an upper room. The deceased and the woman were jeering at Clutterbuck, who sip_ peered much agitated. The deceased went down stairs with the woman, and Clutterbuck followed. The witness went after them; he heard deceased say, " Don't strike her." The first thing witness saw was the deceased either pushing or striking Clutterbuck, who fell backwards against the partition. The prisoner and deceased then scuffled toge ther, and several " hits" were exchanged. Witness got between them and said " Stop it." The deceased cried out, "He has a knife." Wit ness seized prisoner's hand, and held it until a man named Stiff took the knife from him. Deceased was taken to the hospital. Cross_examined by Mr. PHILLIPS (th• prisoner's counsel)—Between the time when Clutterbuck was pushed backward against the partition, and the time of the scuffle with deceased, prisoner had not time to pull his knife out of his pocket. The knife was open when witness took it from prisoner. It was a common small clasp-knife. A man named Swift c,rroborated the evidence of the last witness. He also stated that Clutterbuck had some beer before him when in the up.stair's room. He did not see if he had anything to cat. Catherine Davi■, the servant girl at the Northampton Arms, said that on the night in question, Clutterbuck, before going up stairs, where deceased and the woman were, left with her (Davis) a pocket. book and a knife to take care of. [This knife was produced in Court with the knife which prisoner had in his hand at the time of the fatal scuffle, and, on being compared together, the former was found to be much the larger and more formidable.] Martha Hamilton, landlady of the Northampton Arma, deposed that on the Tuesday evening referred to, prisoner, when he came to her house, seemed very pale and agitated. She entreated him not to create a disturbance there. He said he would not, adding that the girl Burke had been the ruin of him. There was dancing there that night. It was between ten and eleven o'clock. Mr. Baron ALDRRSON—You ar• doing my wrong to allow your houso to be used in this way. Witness—l never saw any harm from it. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—Ah, you may go. William Clark—Was at the Northampton Arms on the Tuesday night. Saw prisoner give a pocket-book and knife to Catherine Davis. Ile pulled something else out of his pocket, saying, " I will not give you that, and if the b— hits me I will stick it into him ." Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—I had a quarrel with the prisoner years ago, and fought. A man named Todd was with us at the time. John Todd confirmed this testimony, and added, that on going away, aftergiving up the pocket.book and knife, which he left with Catherine Davis, the prisoner said, " G— strike me dead—l'll stick him if he strikes me—l'll rip up his bowels." Cross.examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—CIark was close by us at the time the prisoner used these expressions. Examined by Mr. Baron A.LnizasoN—l have stated what I have just said before. I don't know if it was at the inquest, or before the ma gistrate. Mr. Baron Atnistsox—lt is not in the depositions. Have you had a quarrel with the prisoner ?—Witness was understood to reply, no. On leaving the witness box, however, one of the Jury said he had heard him mutter something. Witness being recalled, said reluctantly, that he had quarrelled with Clutterbuck about the girl Burke; and they fought together ; but it was a long time ago; and they had been friends since. W. B. Curling, Esq., surgeon of the London Hospital, stated that the deceased had received a seveie wound in his stomach, from which the intestines obtruded ; and hedied on the 15th. The policeman who took the prisoner into custody said, he told him that he hail been eating bread and cheese; that he had a knife in his hand at the time of the scuffle, and that the deceased struck him first. This closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. C. PIIILLIFS then addressed the Jury with great ability for the prisoner. He stated that though on the coroner's inquest the jury had found a verdict of murder, the Grand Jury had only returned a bill for manslaughter. The Learned Counsel admitted that if they believed that the prisoner had uttered the words imputed to him by Clark and Todd, they must find him guilty of murder. But he conceived, taking into considera tion the discrepancy between the evidence of these two witnesses—their previous quarrels with the prisoner—and the absence of any confirmation of their evidence from Catherine Davis, who had quite as good oppor tunity for hearing what the prisoner said—the Jury would not attach any credit to their testimony. There was no doubt that the prisoner was guilty of Manslaughter ; and he (Mr. Phillipps) hoped that would be the extent of the verdict which the Jury would return. Mr. Baton ALDERRON then summed up. After laying down the law respecting malice aforethought, the Learned Judge entered with great minuteness into the evidence. The Jury returned a verdict of Manslaughter.

Green, who said he was re siding in Deptford, was charged with entering the shop of a surgeon in Great Queen-street, Lincoln's-inn-fieldi, and endeavouring to play the following barefaced trick :—Having asked for a strip of genuine sticking plaister, made on the most improved principles, the young man in at tendance, who happened at the moment to be dazing over a musty ♦u. lume on pharmacy, instantly supplied his customer with a portion of It, cut with geometrical precision, and which he carefully rolled in paper twisted at each end. The prisoner laid down a half-crown, and, after getting his change, was leaving the shop, but, suddenly turning back, said he feared one of the shillings he had got in the change wcu:d not be taken from him. The young man, by this time, had got a better view of the prisoner, and recognising him as being the same wh s had twice played a similar trick upon him, and with success, gave him into custo,ly.

The Marquis of Clanricard• is dispensing his hos pitality to a large circle at Portumna Castle, Galway, Ireland Friday the Earl of Lonsdale entered his eighty-first Y r e,"r—an event th a t wa s c elebrated by a dinner at the Black Lion Inn, \Vhitehaven, which was eaten by his Lordship's agents, and a few of the upper class of his fiends and sup porters in the neighbourhood ; and bynnother at liensingliam, where the secondary order of the Noble Earl's retainers, tradesmen, farm-is, &c., mustered pretty strongly. Yesterday morning, about nine o'clock, a man of the name of J. Haslock, near 70 years of age, who for many Years has been an inhabitant of Lambeth, entered the Queen's Head public-house, Vauxhall-walk, and seated himself in the taproom.i He appeared very faint, and had been there about half-an -hour when Mr. Swan, the landlord, fearing t'iat he was in a dying state, went to the workhouse, which is only a few yards distant. Dunn, one of the officers, accompani. d Mr. Swan back, who, finding that the poor old man was unable to walk. procured the chair in which invalids are carried, and had hint taken into the house. He was put to bed, having scarcely a pulse, and being in a very exhausted state. lie was shortly aft( r seen by the assistant of Mr. Briant, the parish surgeon, who directed that he should receive every proper attention, but there are very little hopes that he will live long. lie was a pauper of the parish, and received Is. Gd. a week. He had been asked to enter the house, but he objected. Tho 11th and 73d Regiments, ordered home from the Mediterrannean, are also proceed to Canada, ra:kiug an addition of 1,200 rank and file to the numbrrs we have al ready enumerated. The Hercules, and not the Hastings, the Inconstant, Pique, and Vestal, are the ships of war selected for the cenveyance of troops out to Halifax, Nova Scotia. All Regiments stationed in Canada, or intended for it, are to be augmented to their full establishment (80 added to their present strength), and we believe the same arrangements will extend to every corps in the service. It is reported in the best informed military circles that 20,000 mcn arc to be added to the present strength of the army. A less number, it is said, would not afford the necesrary reinforcements fur America, and enable us to re lieve the Regiments in the East whose periods of service have expired. Major-General Sir W. Macbean, has been appointed to a command in Canada, and Major-General Sir James Mac donnell is to command the brigade of Guards under orders for the same qurrtcr, thereby causing two vacancies in the command of Irish districts. It is now doubtful whether a Regiment of Cavalry will be sent to Canada, or a few squadrons selected from two or three Regiments. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—There have lately been some observations in The Sun Newspaper, in which my name has been introduced with ex pressions of doubt as to the accuracy of some of the state ments recently made of the horrors committed under the pre sent system of slavery, called apprenticeship, and these opinions have partly been given on the authority of some clergyman, whose name is withheld from the public, but who does not appear to have disproved one of the facts, Though I do not consider it needful to notice observations founded upon anonymous authority, and especially from a country where few even of the clergy of the Church of &gland, are not in some way or other interested in this accursed system, yet, an I do not think the Editor would wilfully prejudice the cause of the unhappy Negroes, I will simply give an extract or two from a pamphlet respecting which the greatest incre dulity was expressed; it is " A Narrative of Events since the Ist of August, 1834, by James Williams," a Negro I brought home with me to this country, and which was considered of sufficient importance for the Government at home to order a commission of enquiry into its truth. From many things of similar atrocity I extract the following examplcs, page 12 : " All the woman that not able to dance (the treadmill), was flog most dreadfully, in particular all the woman from Hiatts field. There was twenty-one woman from Hiattsfield and one man—several of them have young children ; I think they was in for fourteen days. I found them in alien Igo there, and they was let out on aaturday night ; I was present when they let out, and I hear the list call, and counted the people, and it was twenty one woman from Hiattsfield. When I go to the workhouse on the Tuesday, there was only three of these woman able to work in the field ; all the rest:was in the hospi tal, from being cut up with the mill and the fogging." Page 14.—" One day we was working at Banks's negro houses cutting Penguin to plant at Springfield—old Sally was chained to a young girl name Mary Murray ; it was heavy rain time, driver was pushing the people on to run fast —was flogging them on ; the young girl was trying to get on, and was hauling and dragging the chain that was en her and Sally's neck, as Sally dont able to keep up, at last the old woman fall down right in a place where a stream of water was running through the negro-house street, and she dont able to get up again, then the driver stand over her with the cat, and flog her, but she not able to get up with the chain on, so he take off the chain and make the young girl tie it round her body and go along with the rest, then he stand over the old women sand flog her with the cat till he make her get up, and keep on flogging at her till she get to the cooks fireside." The Jamaica Packet of the week before last, brings the report of the Commissioners appointed to make the investiga tion, who, after examining upwards of two hundred witnesse s, state—" In reporting upon the general results of this extended enquiry, it has become the daty of the Commissioners to state that the allegations of James Williams's narrative has received few and inconsiderable contradictions, whilst every material fact has been supported and corroborated by an almost unbroken chain of convincing testimony." In the report of the towns meeting held here List week, it was an error of the reporter which connected my observations on female flogging with the 563,000 lashes in the official re turns. I have not since my return from the West Indies given a gene' al comparison between the misery of the Negro under the old and new system of slavery ; but let any one read the narrative of James Williams*, now an official document, and say if a more horrid exhib'tion of slavery was ever made in anc!ent or modern times, though the British people have paid twenty millions sterling to secure the liberty of the Negro. I atw, respectfully, JOSEPH STURGE. Birmingham, Ist month 2d, 1838 3 , Published by John Haddon, Castle-street, Finsbury. The body found in the river on Monday, near East-lane, Bermondsey, is, es was suspected, that of the gen tleman named Green, who has been missing since the begin ning of last month from his lodgings at Mr. R. Burn's, boot maker, in Piccadilly, and for whose discovery a considerable reward has been offered. On the examination of the body of the unfortunate gentleman, it was found that he had a deep cut on the top of the head, and his gold watch and a little money were found in his pockets, but a gold chain and seals, which were attached to the watch when he was last seen alive, vr,r• gone. It appears that Mr. Green was a gentleman of considerable property, of remarkably regular and punctual habits, and that he had lodged in the house of Mr. Burn for a period of nine years, being unmarried. Nothing has at pre sent been discovered to give the slightest clue to the manner in which he came by his death. The inquest is to be held to day at the Bermondsey workhouse, where the body now re mains until that has taken place. A Club-house is about to be established in Hull, under the title of the " Union Club," similar to the London Club-houses. It is to be formed of gentlemen of all parties, and politics are to be excluded. BEAR HUNTING.—" One night, during the mid witch, young Nelson stole from the ship with one of his com rades, under cover of a fog, and set out over the ice in pursuit of a bear. It was not long before they were missed ; search was made for them, but in vain ; and Captain Lutwidge end his officers became extremely alarmed for their safety. Be tween three and four in the morning, the fog clearing off, the two adventurers were discovered on the ice at a considerable distance, attacking a huge white bear. Nelson had a musket but the lock being injured, the piece would not go off. A signal was immediately made for their return. His comrade called upon him to obey it, but he replied, Never mind; let me but get a blow at this devil with the but-end of my mus ket, and then we shall have him.' A chasm in the ice, which separated him from the bear, probably saved his life. Captain Lutwidge, perceiving his danger, ordered a gun to be fired, and this had the effect of frightening the beast away. His assailant immediately returned to the ship, where Cie Captain severely reprimanded him for conduct so unbecoming the offiee which he held, and sternly asked what could be his moth e for hunting a bear. I nished, Sir,' said he, routing his lip, as was his custom when agitated, ' to get the skin for my father." —Naval Keepsake .fur 1838, contatning a new Life if Nel son, by the Old Sailor. The annual New-Year's Ball took place, Monday night, at the Royal Crown Hotel, Seven Oaks, and was sited by all the rank and fashionabh s in the neighbourlicod. Dancing commenced about 50 o'clock to Weippart's band, and continued with spirit until one, when supper teas announced. It consisted of tke usual delicacies, and the choicest wines were in profusion. After supper daecing was resumed, and continued until four. Gazelle of Tuesday contains a re e.amation offering 100/. reward for the discovery of the pe suns who, on the 20th ult., fired at and attempted to stop the driver of the mail-cart between Hull and Scarborough. Her Ma jesty's pardon is also promised to any of the people con cerned (except the one who actua'ly fired the shot) who shall give information on which his aceomplices may be convicted of this daring offence. SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.—Since Sunday last a very painful sensation has taken place in the neighbourhood cf Ivy-lane, Paternoster-row, in consequence of a most dreadful circumstance which has occurred in the family of Mr. Hodges, a respectable master butcher, residing in Ivy-lane. On the 4th of December last Mrs. Hodges was confined uith a fine little girl, who, after the mother was up, received the name of Sarah. Subsequent to the poor woman's accouchement she became exceedingly weak and poorly, and was low-spirited and dejected in the extreme. Within the last week her mind has become more disordered, and on Friday last she told her muse, a female named Harvey, that she had dreamt that the levil had appeared to her twice and said that she must murder her baby—that the dream had male her very unhappy, and that she was sure she was mach r the dominion of an ev il On Sunday morning, during the absance of her husband aral nurse, the unhappy woman put a period to her innocent infant's existence by smothering it with some pillows; she afterwards put the body into the copper, and filled it up with water. On the discovery of the horrid deed Mr. Hay, a sargeon, of New gate-street, was called in, but all efforts to restore the life of the child proved unavailing., the slid uentleman giving it as his opinion that the death of the infant was caused by suffocation before being put into the water. The wretched mother has, ecknowl•dged the act, and says the devil prompted her to it— she has since the sad event been i❑ a-raving state, and great care is taken to prevent her from committing suicide. AR in quest has been appointed to be held on the infant. No further authentic account appears to be obtained s to the persons who attempted to stop the mail cart, a short distance off Scarborough, on its way from Bridlington la t Wednesday night week, It is supposed, however, that one of the three men was either wounded or killed. Time will, I probably, ere long, clear up the affair.—Hull Observer. COURT CIRCULAR. A Cabinet Council was held at half-past two o'clock yestezve day afternoon at the Foreign-office.
